So he's basically saying, it's racist to enforce the law against blacks. At least he's consistent with the liberal agenda.

Yeah, it's not like this was this was made a big deal out of just because it was a couple of black folks. They were black AND intimidating.

The Attorney General seemed to take personal offense at a comment Culberson read in which former Democratic activist Bartle Bull called the incident the most serious act of voter intimidation he had witnessed in his career.

"Think about that," Holder said. "When you compare what people endured in the South in the 60s to try to get the right to vote for African Americans, to compare what people subjected to that with what happened in Philadelphia, which was inappropriate....to describe it in those terms I think does a great disservice to people who put their lives on the line for my people," said Holder, who is black.

You know, I've seen the video of supposed harrassment and I really don't know what the big deal is. Holder may have personalized the issue but I would too if I was in his shoes.

I can't even imagine Black Panthers and Klansmen being in the same category. Also, I've never heard of Black Panthers killing whites who have tried to vote. Have you?

The video is plain as day. They did nothing. Zero. And whites went in and out with no problem. Even standing right next to them on talking on the cell phone. He had a night stick, but threatened and bothered no one. Big to do over nothing.

This whole thing is silly as fuck. Bunch of Public Enemy S1W wanna bes just standing there looking silly. A sideshow of a sideshow. A clown act. Hardly intimidation.

--A single incident involving two fools with little french hats hanging outside of a polling station, doing nothing, really = OMG OMG THE RACIST DOUBLE STANDARD! OMGOMGOMG.

vs.

--100+ year history of murder, public lynching, vote-rigging, intimidation, legal segregation, costume wearing cultish observances, jew-hating and woman-hating is...somehow, on equal footing with the first example.


yeah...This is the Tea Party, folks. where logic and rationality observes it's own natural law.

Well - he does have a point. The law needs to be enforced equally, and it arguably wasn't, but two racist idiots hoping to intimidate with their mere presence doesn't compare to racist idiots with dogs and shotguns and fire hoses and the armed might of government behind them.

Here is the video by the way. You got two white guys standing right next to them talking on their cell phones. You got a white girl yapping on her phone right behind them. You got a couple of whites coming and leaving. Where on earth was anyone intimidated?

This is not equating the history of racism against blacks and racism against whites.

Doesn't change what these two guys did though and the fact that they should have been prosecuted.

They were prosecuted. It is not illegal to have and carry a night stick in PA. They also got the man banned for the next 3 years from any type of intimidation tactics. Not only in PA, but anywhere in the country.

So I take it we can have Minutemen members, Anti-Abortion activists, etc... standing at polling places and it would be okay right according to Eric. Oh wait as long as it doesn't effect "His People" the rest of us Americans will just have to deal with the buffet style of selective justice by Eric Holder and his pals.

Edit: NVM that they were prosecuted and found guilty and that Eric later had the justice department drop the case during the penalty phase. These guys did nothing wrong right?
